Abstract

This prospective, multicentre application study was conducted to assess the clinical performance of Hydrosorb comfort hydrogel dressing. Eighty-one patients (average age 67 years) with acute or chronic wounds received three dressing changes. The condition of the wound and patient-reported pain were assessed at the beginning and end of the study period. The mean proportion of the wound surface covered with slough fell from 63% to 34%, and the mean area of new granulation and epithelial tissue increased from 25% to 37% and 13% to 28%, respectively. The average wound size decreased from 4.7 x 2.9cm to 3.7 x 2.3cm; 29.6% of the patients reported no pain at baseline, increasing to 56.3% at the final assessment. Both acute and chronic wounds can be effectively treated with the Hydrosorb comfort hydrogel dressing.
